Wow... wow! The first conception of LMBE was that it would be a place for a small group of people to continue an epic roleplay we had going for Clone Wars RP. When I suggested that we remake the boards entirely, it took a bit for everyone (myself included) to get over the shock of such a crazy idea. But I think we were all sure that was it. The boards would be recreated and we'd just go on as normally as possible.
Now, you guys just keep innovating and improving and expanding. It's so cool to see! It'll be hard to see the name go, but you're right that it's a necessary change to make the expansion.
I have a couple questions. Will the old URL be usable to redirect people to the new one? Likewise, will a Google search of "LMBE", "Lego Message Boards", etc. still return this site? There are a lot of old users, myself included, who just don't check in here much and it would be sad if they weren't able to find this place again or thought it shut down. If the old URL won't work anymore by default, I would definitely recommend asking Proboards for some help with that. Maybe they can offer a solution.
Keep up the great work!
Hey, haven't seen you around these parts lately. Not that anyone's seen me around these parts either, this just happened to be a well-timed check-in.
Personally I think that LMB.boards would be sufficient enough of a change to avoid a cease and desist or whatever, but I think that it being few years after the end of the LMBs means that it's time to move on from the name, even though it does hurt my heart just a little.
Hey Ben! Nice to see you! Yeah, I don't know that any of the Clone Wars RP crew hangs around here much anymore. I just dropped in because I heard the name change was happening and wanted to see what it was all about. As for the name, it has actually always officially been "LMB Eternal" and not "LEGO Message Boards Eternal" but no one really knows that. The url was chosen to more easily get people here through the moderation of the LMBs.

That would be funny. Me: MY FAVORITE SITE IS LEGOMESSAGE.BOARDS.NET/ LMB Mods: Oh, thanks so much for the compliment. We'll miss it too.

You don't even know the absurd shenanigans we pulled. I literally quoted a mod in Talk to the Mods telling me I couldn't post the link and edited the quote so it showed the link is big, bold, red letters. The post got through because mods never checked quote chains Unfortunately it was removed within a day.

Wow, that's crazy. I don't know how I missed all of that. I was just sad, and I didn't really spend so much time on LMB at the end. The only way I found out about this place was I basically just searched up "lego message boards", cuz I wanted some nostalgia, and then I found LMBE in the search results.

Wow, okay, seems like things where pretty wild back then.
